Hi, 
I was reading through some of the Sinclair website and came across the 
following:
       Lybster was a major herring port last century with 248 boats and 
over 1,000 fishermen using it as their base. Lieut. General Sinclair of 
Lybster built the pier. He was one of several "improvers" who, 
stimulated by the writings and work of the dynamic Sir John Sinclair, 
did so much to improve the economy of Caithness.

I believe my great great great Grandfather William Sinclair was from 
there, (Lybster),in about the early 1800's could anyone tell me anything 
about  Lieut. General Sinclair of Lybster or any other Sinclairs of 
Lybster.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks Jenny
